For love and passion

Come to the New Adult Stage to immerse yourself in Romance, Fantasy and other New Adult genres in one of the fair’s most beautiful halls.

Event auf Bühne wird gefilmt

Are you into tropes like “enemies to lovers” or “grumpy/sunshine”? Is the BookTok community your second home? Come to Frankfurter Buchmesse to experience your favourite love stories and all the latest from the world of Romantasy. And on the New Adult Stage you’ll find well-known stars and authors from the community.

The stage in the new Hall 1.2 will present a host of featured talks and readings for fans aged 18 and up. But be careful: there’s no guarantee that your stack of unread books won’t get bigger!

Reminder: the full stage programme will be published starting in early September 2024.

Save the date – for these programme highlights on the New Adult Stage
